Title: Web Stream / Artist Unknown
Post by: zenomicon on September 19, 2014, 02:14:39 PM

I opened a PLS file from http://chromanova.de which is a really nice radio I listen to and MusicBee doesn't show the artist and neither the track currently playing, unlike AIMP 3 for example which I use only because it has the best tagging I've seen so far.

Any ideas  ??? :-\

I'm using the latest MusicBee 2.4 Client on Windows 8.1 x64. If it works for you, it should work for me, don't know where the problem is.

opening the PLS file with MB only runs the stream through the player
to extract the data, you have to add Chromanova.fm as a new station
right-click the 'Radio' icon in the LH panel and select 'New Station'
put the web stream in the address box and wait while MB gets all the info
hit 'Save' and then you get all the artist info and covers to show up
